Hypothesis 22

Biblical Literalism

Then He turned to His disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see; for I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it.

(Luke 10:23-24) NKJV

“Biblical literalists” are usually indignant and defend the mainstream science paradigm (SciPop) when shown that they don’t have an inkling of the true extent to which the Bible may be taken literally.

Bible Versions

For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.

(Romans 1:20) NLT

Different Bible versions, by which we mean English translations, differ broadly in how they render the original languages. A lot of people use this as an excuse to discount the Bible as being inaccurate and unreliable.

The Creation of Gravity

a drawing compass and the creation of gravity on the second day

When he established the heavens, I was there;
when he drew a circle on the face of the deep,

(Proverbs 8:27) English Standard Version

In a similar manner to that in which God said: Let there be light, the light was a reaction to nuclear fusion; when God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, it was a reaction to the creation of of gravity.

Math isn’t What You Think

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

(Isaiah 5:20) NKJV

Earth is the gravitational center of the universe. That’s a controversial statement but it’s incredibly simple to solve. However, the issues involved are complicated because no one really understands them.

Gravitational Lensing

God made a home in the sky for the sun;
it comes out in the morning like a happy bridegroom,
like an athlete eager to run a race.
It starts at one end of the sky
and goes across to the other.
Nothing can hide from its heat.

(Psalms 19:4b-6) Good News Translation

We observe the gravity of the sun causing light from stars to bend. It’s called gravitational lensing. This shows that light has properties of both waves and particles, but everything is energy when it comes right down to it.

Time Dilation

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

(2 Peter 3:8) KJV

Albert Einstein predicted relativistic time dilation: the faster we go the slower time passes. At the speeds that humans travel it’s inconsequential. It’s a diversion away from the more significant gravitational time dilation.
